Houston Christian opens center named for the Bushes

Houston Christian High School held an opening ceremony Monday morning for a new campus center named in honor of former president George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush.

The school called the new addition the only presidential center located in a high school.

The building used to be a library but was renovated to become the Bush Center for Scholars and Leaders, Houston Christian wrote on its Facebook page. The presidential seal greets students on the sidewalk outside, and the building contains auditorium and meeting spaces.

George and Barbara Bush have a grandson currently enrolled at Houston Christian, located along Beltway 8 at Kempwood. The school, once a part of Northwest Academy, opened in 1998 and moved to its current location in 2000.

Barbara Bush spoke at Houston Christian’s International Day earlier this year.

The Bush Presidential Library is located in College Station and opened in 1997.
